Well, there is commercial software (ie Data Rescue), who has it built in, 
others allow for building a module asf.
Most of these programs are expensive and do not allow an extensive testing, and 
as far as their demo mode goes (if there is any), I had not been satisfied by 
their showing.

I'm really astonished, that in a so crucial field, there no outstanding 
solutuion. I remember way back (in OS 7 to 9), making accidentally deleted 
files resurrect was a few clicks with the mouse....magic of a lost world?
